1927 Toaster

This toaster was manufactured in November of 1927, as the Holland Tunnel opened under the Hudson River connecting New York and New Jersey. The George and Ira Gershwin musical “Funny Face” opened with Fred and Adele Astaire who danced through over two hundred performances. And “Connecticut Yankee” opened at the same time, a Rogers and Hart musical based on Mark Twain’s work.

This toaster was made in Connecticut where high-quality small electrical goods were being manufactured by stamping steel, plating and polishing then assembly by human hands at a line of workbenches. It has vertically laced spiral coil heating wire with porcelain insulators.

This one is in good condition for being nearly 100 years old with damage to one door handle. It includes a cord set which plugs into the side of the toaster. Of course, it makes pretty good toast.

If you are looking for a small, simple toaster that is easy to keep clean, this model is a good choice.
